# Consistency

## Build anonymization against compute/platform 1 and n consistently

This is one of the largest challenges for organizations. Having multiple data platforms/compute, which is quite common, means that you must configure policies uniquely in each of them. For example, the way you build policies in Databricks is completely different from how you build policies in Snowflake. This becomes highly complex to manage, understand, and evolve (really hard to make changes).

Just like the big data era created the need to separate compute from storage, the privacy era requires you to separate policy from platform. Immuta does just that; it abstracts the policy definition from your many platforms, allowing you to define policy once and apply anywhere - consistently!

You should not build policies uniquely in each data platform/compute you use; this will create chaos, errors, and make the data platform team a bottleneck for getting data in the hands of analysts.
